I started the program in February and so far it has been amazing. I am committed to 12 months so I will update my full experience Feb 2018. I have always been a pretty active person doing Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai but I never was really well educated on the nutrition part. I have found that nearly everything I thought was "healthy" choices in food was actually hurting me. I was following mostly a protein diet and it was doing nothing but bad for me. The health coach I am working with has been amazing, he has taught me so much about my nutrition, counting macros, my metabolic rate, working out the right way and so on. My coach is also very dedicated on keeping me focused and helping me work through the emotional part I struggle with when it comes to the life changes Im making. I am very busy all the time and I NEVER get a break but he has been so wonderful in helping me filter out all the unnecessary obligations that I have been taking on and he has helped me fit in nutrition and fitness into my life the right way, so far I have lost about 4 pounds. I really enjoy the fact that the facility is open 24 hrs to members only. The facility is also very clean at all times. I also enjoy that the first 3 months you meet with your coach weekly as I think this is very important when making those life changes. So far things have been great and I really enjoy the coach I have, I believe he sincerely cares about all of his clients. They do have classes but he thing I admire the most is the out door activities that you and your family can attend, they really do focus on getting you active and keeping you active but doing it in a fun way and in a way that motivates you and keeps you willing and strong. The facility as a whole has been nothing but wonderful and I am excited to see where I am at in 10 months.

Wow! That is what my doctor said at my last checkup. That was because Im down 20 Lbs in 7 weeks of working with LightenUp Fitness. More importantly, my Cholesterol counts are better than ever, even better than what medication had been able to do previously. I am a remote client so I only speak with Mike from LightenUp Fitness on the phone. Even so, these discussions and his program have had a tremendous impact on how I eat. Ive always "Known" what I needed to do to lose weight. But I have failed at other weight loss programs. The missing ingredient was the accountability that Mike and team provide. This isnt like a national program where you weigh in once a week then sit in a class for everyone. Working with Mike has been all about me and my lifestyle. What I really like is that Mike and team do not just focus on what goes into my mouth. Yes, what I eat is important and weve had many discussions around nutrition. But our discussions have also ranged into stress, emotions, sleep and other factors that all can affect weight loss. We have talked about how each of these factors contributes to overall health putting weight loss into the larger picture. Mike has been an awesome life coach for me and Im seeing improvements in many aspects of my life. I plan to keep working with LightenUp Fitness for a long time to not only make these changes but to make them stick!

Member of the National Guard. Really allowed myself to get out of shape. I was feeling like I was about to be discharged from the Guard, deservedly so, if I didnt pass my upcoming 2 mile run. Signed-up at 266 lbs and lost 22 pounds in 9 weeks. I dont know if I would have made my goals without this place. Im so thankful. The Guard is like family to me and I honestly think Id be saying goodbye to them right now if I didnt find this place in time. I had a moment where my spirits where low, some self-doubt, that didnt go unnoticed during one of my training sessions with my trainer. The staff here is very spirited. Having that little support can be the difference some times. So my appreciation cant be overstated. Ive dialed the exercise intensity down a notch (or two) but continue to see gains. Its just refreshing to find a place that allows me to set my own goals and keeps me motivated. Theres classes and things to do if youre feeling social. Which is great, of course. But theres space to workout alone too if you like your own space. Its a nice balance. The price is more than your standard gym. I shopped around the area and looked at 3 other fitness clubs just before joining. This place just felt different. They really know their stuff. Ive belonged to over a dozen gyms and theyve all pretty much been the same, but this place is good.

Little did I know several months back that the wonderfully passionate, caring and knowledgable people at LightenUp Fitness would truly set a new and intensely better course for my life when I called asking for help with losing weight and cultivating good overall health. You see, I was nearly 100 pounds overweight and had been suffering the effects of nearly out-of-control type 2 diabetes that is lethargy, fatigue and low/high blood sugar crashes. I had also just come from seeing my doctor who, when asked if he could advise me on my losing weight to curb the diabetes, stated "There are skinny people and there are fat people - its all about genes. Take your meds and insulin, eat what you want and dont worry about your weight." I am glad this happened because it prompted me to discover LightenUp Fitness. I spoke on the phone that same day to an authentically empathic and responsive personality for at least an hour. She sparked in me the idea that we are NOT genetically determined to be overweight and unhealthy, and that I could accomplish these goals. She was right!!!! I have lost 62 pounds or 20% of my body weight, my blood glucose is stabilized, I am no longer taking insulin and I have gained real health sustaining knowledge that will serve me for my life. Thank you, LightenUp Fitness, for all that you do and for making all of this possible!

My life has been changing so much since 2011. Before then I was very active, doing 1/2 marathons, but when life took a not so positive turn all that went out the window. My fitness level and health went slowly downhill. I knew what I needed to do, but just couldnt seem to make it work. Then I found LightenUp Fitness. It is a great, small, fitness and health studio. It has all the equipment - machines, weights, etc as bigger gyms as well as both fitness and life modifying informational classes. But, the one thing it ha,s that I havent had in the past is personal coaches. These people dont just help with the physical like trainers, but they work with you on the mental and emotional barriers we set against ourselves; this is what I needed and allowed me to finally break through to a healthier me. You might have noticed I call this a studio versus a gym. I look at it that way because its so much more personal. Being members only access I can go in anytime day or night and feel very comfortable and safe. Also, I know that the other members are there for the exact same reason I am... To find a sustainable way to live a healthy life So if you are looking to get yourself healthy and you havent had luck at the big name gyms, try out this studio sized gym and all it has to offer. Just tell them Janet sent you.
